Tuesday is expected to be one of the hottest day of 2025 with conditions expected to hit the 80s for the first time of the year. The wind and spotty showers felt earlier in the day will be present later as well. Big picture view: It’s a warm one out there in Southeast Michigan with highs near 82 degrees and just a hint of humidity teasing that summer feel. But don’t get too cozy — this is a day when the weather keeps you guessing.

Morning rain and some rumbles of thunder could greet Metro Detroit to start the week, but don’t worry — it’s not an all-day affair. Showers and storms should move out by around 11 a.m., leaving behind a much windier setup for the afternoon. Winds will crank up quickly, with steady speeds between 15 and 30 mph and gusts topping out near 45 mph. Hold onto your hats — and your trash bins. Despite the wind, temperatures will make a solid run to around 70 degrees by early afternoon.
